For the lovers of Oxford commas, em dashes, and sentence structure that slaps - this sign gets you. 😎 It’s perfect for writers, teachers, and punctuation sticklers who know grammar IS sexy

“You can’t get mad at the AP for not using your stupid name. The thing you should get mad at the AP about is not using the Oxford comma in their style guide, OK?” - Stephen Colbert. Yesss! Oxford Comma 4-eva!!!! #styleguide #oxfordcomma #grammarnerds #stephencolbertisright
Talked to a lady today complaining about LCD lights controlled by a phone app. She said " I just hate all this appification of everything".
